Hi. I’m Deepika Nandal, and I run this blog. I’m extremely passionate about authentic, simple, fuss-free food. My native place is Jaisalmer, and I grew up in Surat.
It breaks my heart, every time I try to make my food ‘look good’. My mum never did so; she just fed us good food. But Instagram-worthy food has become a trend now; and I try hard not to follow these trends.
I’m a freelance journalist, and a mum. My articles have been published in the Hindu, Gastro Obscura, Reader’s Digest (website), Better Homes and Gardens India, New Woman and more.
Here, I share food stories that are close to my heart, and random stuff that I feel I should write about. Recently, I started an interview series called Taste Memory Talks.
My mother and my mother-in-law are my biggest inspirations, and I want to pen a book about their food. But that will happen when it has to happen. Hope you enjoy reading my blog.
घनी खम्मा. 🙏

Hi Deepika,
I happened to read your article in The Hindu (Magazine part). The article was about the long train travel. The article was tagged ‘Noshtalgia’. It, indeed, kindled the nostalgic emotions. Great work, kudos!
